Since releasing our newest spectral sensor (based on the ams OSRAM AS7343), we've had a lot of questions about how spectral sensors work and what's the difference between our various options. Learn about the colorful world of perception @

Stretchable versions of the Arduino Lilypad, SparkFun Sound Detector, SparkFun RGB and Gesture Sensor, made with oxidized gallium-indium (OGaIn) on VHB tape! They showed you can stretch them more than 400%, and made two inflatable blue and red cubes crawl and kiss each other 🥹

Looking to up and running with MicroPython? 🐍. SparkFun Software Engineer Malcolm is back on video again going over some basics, like how to go from a blank board to running MicroPython code and sensor demos using SparkFun’s Qwiic ecosystem!.

The MLX90640 is a fully calibrated 32x24 pixels thermal IR array in a 4-lead TO39 package w/ digital interface offered in either a 110 Degree or 55 Degree FOV and contains 768 FIR pixels, an ambient sensor and a supply sensor to measure the VDD. Get it ⬇️.

A few weeks ago, we released the GNSS Flex pHATs and Modules. Watch Nathan tell us everything we need to know to get better acquainted with these new boards!.

How can humanoid robots move smarter in crowded spaces? 🦾 Meet ARMOR —an egocentric perception system developed by @talking_kim, Mario Srouji, Chen Chen, and Jian Zhang. Using our XIAO ESP32S3, @sparkfun ToF sensors, @nvidia Jetson NX & @NVIDIAGeForce RTX 4090, it delivers

Have you seen the results from the Experiential Robotics Challenge with SparkFun? 🤖 Congratulations to the winners who brought creative ideas to life, from an Omnidirectional XRP Robot featuring swerve drive modules, to a fully 3D printed track system, and even robotic legs that

We frequently get asked about which SBC (single-board computer) or MCU (microcontroller unit) is right for a specific project. It can be hard to balance complexity, power, and cost. If you're totally lost, we've got you! Check out our most recent blog!.

Preorders are now open for the SparkFun Allband GNSS RTK Breakout - ZED-X20P (Qwiic)! Featuring the latest GNSS engine from @ublox, the X20, which is a successor to their popular F9 engine and can be used as a drop in replacement in most cases. More at

It's hot out and your plants are thirsty!. Keep them hydrated with our updated Qwiic Soil Moisture Sensor, now just $6.95!.

hand modeling - it's a hard job but someone's gotta do it. Watch the whole video (and learn more about the XRP) here:

This summer, #GEMS campers at ERDC Headquarters explored the world of #robotics with the SparkFun XRP Controller. Through programming and maneuvering their own robotic projects, students explored how hardware and software work together to bring robots to life. @USAEOP

We had some members of the marketing department race to assemble an XRP. with no instructions 🤖🔨⚡ Choose your fighter and see how they fare in our latest video:

PSA: You have been misusing the D-sub connector terminology, and we're guilty of it, too. You probably know it as a DB9, however, the correct name is actually DE9 (pushes glasses up) 🤓. Learn more about DB9. I mean DE9! in our blog about it!.

.@sparkfun has launched a breakout board for the @BoschGlobal BVM080, the world's smallest particulate matter sensor at just 4.4 x 3.0 x 20 mm³. It can report PM1, PM2.5, and PM10 values and connect to the host through I2C or SPI. A 3D printer case is

Switching out Calian antennas as part of a test for ⁦@onocoyRTK⁩ this morning. The new one is a VeraPhase 6000 and it’s a beast! All running on a ⁦@sparkfun⁩ Mosiac x-5 downstairs.

If you’re working on an air quality monitoring project and space is at a premium, SparkFun’s latest Qwiic breakout board featuring Bosch Sensortec’s BMV080 sensor might be exactly what you need. This isn’t just a shrunken-down version of existing PM sensors, it’s a serious
